"I hope I can be the autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift." — Dodinsky

Hi Peter,

I led the club's first Sunday walk from the Boathouse today. It was way too warm for the first week of October (mid-80s by late morning), but the Chimney Swifts didn't seem to mind. There was a big group of them above Lookout. We also saw the male Ring-necked Duck that has been hanging around, first on the lake and later on the Lullwater, where it was loosely joined by two Green-winged Teals. There were still good numbers of Golden-crowned Kinglets and Red-breasted Nuthatches, and I'm sure those will increase with colder temperatures coming in a couple days.

Here's our list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S277485174.

Next month's walk in November will start at 10am as opposed to today's 8am.
